Chapter 90: Need to Change the Battlefield
Boros groaned as immense force traveled from his chest to his entire body. Like a cannonball, he was blasted backward at extreme speed.
His body smashed into the ground, instantly creating a massive crater from the impact. But he didn't stop there; he continued to slide backward uncontrollably.
Only after ploughing two trenches tens of meters long into the earth did he finally come to a stop, coughing up blood.
"HAHAHAHA! So you have a new form too! Good! Now I won't be bored!"
His shattered internal organs regenerated in less than 0.1 seconds. In Meteoric Burst mode, Boros had not only vastly increased strength, speed, and durability, but his regenerative abilities were also boosted to the limit.
Now, even if he were reduced to a mist of blood, he could restore himself in an instant. As long as his energy wasn't exhausted, Boros was effectively immortal.
In a flash, King, wreathed in burning crimson vitality, appeared in front of him with teleportation-like speed and threw a punch.
"You talk too much."
Boros's pupils constricted. Without hesitation, he threw a counter-punch. Neither side chose to defend; they both aimed their fists at each other.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
The moment their fists landed, invisible shockwaves swept wildly in all directions from the point of impact. Countless buildings collapsed and shattered instantly.
Boros's fist landed on King's head. The massive force caved in his nose, sending bright red blood flowing.
In return, King's heavy punch, burning with crimson vitality, smashed into Boros's forehead, blasting half of his head apart. Red and white matter splattered everywhere.
In the remaining half of his head, Boros's lone eye flashed with ferocity. The missing flesh regenerated instantly, and he punched again without hesitation.
King's crooked nose snapped back into place amidst green flashes of light. He glanced at the crumbling ruins around them and frowned.
Can't fight here...
He and Tatsumaki had stopped the initial bombardment precisely to prevent City A from being destroyed.
With his current Eighth Gate power and Boros's Meteoric Burst mode, a few more exchanges would reduce City A to rubble.
Facing Boros's incoming fist, King stood his ground. Instead of a straight punch, he delivered a vicious uppercut.
Sonic booms screamed through the air as they both struck each other's heads.
King's face was knocked askew. Boros's chin took an irresistible heavy blow, shattering half his face and launching him skyward like a rocket.
Seizing the moment while Boros was still adjusting his body in mid-air, King grabbed him and hurled him toward the top of the spaceship.
To save City A from the aftershocks of their battle, King decided to replicate the original battleground: the top of the ship.
A red streak and a pink streak, both carrying massive energy, intertwined in the air as they flew together toward the summit of the spaceship.
Every clash triggered a terrifying energy storm. Space itself trembled, and residual energy trails lingered in the air.
...........
Meanwhile, on the Surface.
The S-Class heroes naturally witnessed the shocking battle. Their hearts were shaken by the terrifying aura radiating from the sky.
Atomic Samurai chewed on a fresh toothpick, gripping his sword hilt in a daze, muttering to himself:
"Oi oi... Is that pink monster the leader of this spaceship? I feel like he could slap me to death with one hand."
Atomic Samurai always had self-awareness. He could sense the heart-palpitating destructive energy contained within Boros.
Based on the exchange just now, he admitted he couldn't participate in a battle of that level. He would be flattened instantly.
However, he also saw the full fight. That pink-haired monster, who could slap him to death, was being suppressed and beaten by King, getting his head blown off repeatedly.
"It's infuriating comparing yourself to others. King is beating a monster of that level like a drum. Who's the real monster here?"
Atomic Samurai laughed at himself and sat down lazily on a relatively clean piece of rubble.
It wasn't that he was too lazy to support his teammates, but the current battle situation on the ground was already clear as day.
Bang, using his exquisite Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, had accurately located the purple core of a Melzargard clone amidst repeated strikes and crushed it, eliminating his opponent.
Metal Bat, through relentless attacks, seized the moment when his opponent was reforming from being shattered, snatched the core, and smashed it with his bat.
Puri-Puri Prisoner and Tanktop Master also dealt with their respective Melzargard clones. Their method was simple and brute-force: smash the body until it explodes, then find the core in the mess.
As for that guy...
Atomic Samurai raised an eyebrow, looking at the bald man standing idly amidst the rubble. Shock flashed in his heart.
He had clearly seen Saitama one-shot his Melzargard clone earlier.
No wonder his nickname is "One Punch Man." The reputation is well-deserved. It really was one punch.
On the other side, seeing all five of Melzargard's clones perish in battle, Groribas felt a pang of sorrow.
The Three Generals had fought side-by-side for Boros across the universe for centuries. Their bond was deep.
And now, he could only watch helplessly as his old friend died in a desperate struggle.
It's all because of this black, bald muscle man!
Groribas was suffering in silence. In all his years, this was the first time he had met such a stubbornly difficult opponent to fight.
